Justin,

It sounds like the parent directory has the "restricted rename and unlink" option set.  This is also called S_ISVTX or on Unix systems "the sticky bit."   I believe that is the only time that the rename() API will ever return EPERM ("Operation Not Permitted").  Other authority-related errors would return EACCES ("Permission denied.")

The *RWX/*ALL is not going to help if S_ISVTX is set.

For more info, please see the manual for the rename api.
